I incorporate life events, then add them to a vivid imagination and create a book. My book is a romance novel but I added history as a minor background so readers can learn and escape into a character’s lifestyle in a previous setting. I also try to briefly bring to light a few of society’s issues that plague us now and were present in the past like dysfunctional families and alcoholism. This is a sizzling romance where my main character, Ava copes and overcomes her fate!
I was born in Boston, Massachusetts. I graduated from Boston Public Schools and Boston State College. Currently I live just north of Boston with my family and a rescue pug-dog named ‘Frankie’. Writing was a lifelong desire that I never had the chance to do until recently.
I hope that you enjoy the book! I am working on a sequel titled, ‘Ava Again’!
